Advanced Pigmentation & Skin Rejuvenation

Leading Picosecond Laser Treatment Sydney

The New Standard in Laser Skin Correction

Welcome to the future of skin renewal with Sydney’s premier Picosecond laser treatment. This cutting-edge technology is designed for those who want the highest standard of care, refining pigmentation, softening scars and unwanted marks, and rejuvenating ageing skin. You’ll experience a visible transformation that looks and feels effortless.

Picosecond laser technology is a modern dermatologic treatment creating new benchmarks for precision and safety. Compared to traditional lasers that use heat, Picosecond lasers use ultra-short energy pulses to produce a “photo-acoustic” effect. This technology breaks down unwanted pigments, leaving healthy skin unharmed.

Picosecond lasers are gentler and more effective and safer for all skin types and tones. It reduces the risk of skin irritation and damage, greatly improving downtimes.

At Dr Refresh, Dr Ritu Gupta has pioneered the use of two Picosecond lasers in Sydney. We offer world-class dermatology treatments with the latest in laser technology to address issues such as pigmentation, promoting clarity and rejuvenation.

Conditions We Treat with Picosecond Laser

Stubborn Pigmentation

Remove sun spots, freckles, and age spots using two precision Picosecond lasers. Every treatment will make your skin clearer, luminous, and radiant.

Melasma Management

Picosecond laser treatments offer a delicate touch to conditions such as melasma. It delivers targeted energy to fade hormonal pigmentation effectively yet gently. The skin will become clearer without the rebound risks associated with older laser treatments.

Acne Scar Reduction

A picosecond laser stimulates collagen renewal to remodel scar tissue, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin. Over time, acne scars start to fade and irregularities in texture become softer and more refined.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Post-acne or trauma marks fade using a Picosecond laser. This technology is precise and effective for PIH, helping you achieve a clearer, brighter, and even-toned complexion.

Skin Rejuvenation & Pore Minimisation

If you’re looking for a refreshed and polished appearance, a Picosecond laser can help enhance skin texture, reduce pore size, and restore your youthful glow. It’s a rejuvenating treatment that will leave your complexion refined and radiant.

A Holistic Approach to Skin Health

We believe that true skin health goes beyond in-clinic treatments. This is why our treatment plans integrate your lifestyle, diet, sun protection, and stress management. We understand that melanin-rich skin needs extra care to prevent sensitivity, pigmentation, and premature aging.

Specialist dermatologist, Dr Ritu and her team of clinical staff provide practical, culturally-relevant recommendations to support skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions about Picosecond Laser

What is the difference between Picosecond and Nanosecond (e.g., Q-Switched) lasers?

Picosecond lasers are a newer, more advanced technology that delivers laser energy in ultra-short pulses, measured in trillionths of a second. This creates a “photo-acoustic” effect that breaks down pigment with less heat than older nanosecond (Q-Switched) lasers. Treatments are gentler, safer, and offer faster recovery and more refined results.

Is Picosecond laser treatment painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as similar to quick snaps on the skin, similar to light rubber band flicks. You may feel slightly warm or tingly on the treated area, but the discomfort is mild and well-tolerated. At Dr Refresh, we apply numbing cream to ensure laser treatments are as comfortable as possible.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions will depend on your concern, such as acne scars, pigmentation, or rejuvenation. Most patients begin to notice improvements after one or two sessions, but a series of sessions is often recommended for optimal results. We will create a treatment plan according to your skin care needs during your initial consultation.

What is the downtime after a Pico laser treatment?

Downtime is minimal, with most patients reporting mild redness or swelling for only a few hours to a day. You may return to work or your daily activities after treatment. Additionally, following simple aftercare techniques, such as sun protection, can maximise results and improve comfort.

Is the Picosecond laser safe for darker skin tones like Indian or South Asian skin?

Picosecond laser technology is one of the safest options for Indian skin or darker skin tones. It uses less heat and relies on short pulses to minimise the risk of post-treatment pigmentation and other side effects.

Can a Picosecond laser make my pigmentation worse?

Compared to older laser technologies, Picosecond treatments reduce the risk of worsening pigmentation conditions. With ultra-short pulses and minimal heat, the likelihood of developing rebound or irritation is lower. Additionally, proper aftercare and guidance from our team ensure that your skin improves safely and effectively.
